I wish the PGA Tour would allow 18 clubs, because I'm sure that I could then be competitive, and win a lot of money. I just can't score well with only 14 clubs.

Still an easy answer: NO ONE!!!!!!
The rules of golf are set by the USGA in cooperation with the R&A, and in 2023 you will get to use the same 14 clubs you have been permitted since God-knows-when. PERIOD.
I never heard of this bogus "GHA", but they have absolutely no authority to make or change the rules of golf. From their own website:
GHA’s new rule changes are sure to either be loved or hated by golfers and tournament organizations worldwide. These are not your normal small incremental changes. These changes fundamentally change the way the game is played in many aspects.
From increasing the maximum number of clubs golfers can carry from 14 to 18 clubs, eliminating 2 stroke out of bounds, preferred lies in the fairway (no more divots!), lift rake and place in bunkers, 3 putts max, no limit on driver COR, MOI, increasing max driver cc’s from 460 to 600cc’s, free relief from roots and rocks, no groove restrictions, allowing alignment sticks, any type of green reading material, elevation and information processing devices and making golf carts legal for tournament play, these changes are sure to turn explode head
This must be some kind of practical joke or deranged trolling. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!!!!
If you are playing any kind of tournament under USGA rules, don't even think about employing the utter garbage lasted above.
